Compile CodeBlocks by Cygwin

(1/9) > >>

PetrPetrov:
I want to build CB in Cygwin environment.

In particular I use latest x86_64 Cygwin.
I installed gcc, g++, make in Cygwin.
Also I installed x11 libraries and installed local X11 server on my Windows host.
So, many GUI X11 programs work fine in my Cygwin environment (like git gui, gitk, text editors etc.)

I want to run in the same manner CB.
First, CB requires wxWidgets.
Cygwin does not have wxWidgets from the box.
I downloaded the latest 2.8.12 version of wxWidgets sources and build it:
./configure --build=x86_64-pc-cygwin --without-msw --without-gtk --with-x11

which means that I want to build wxWidgets by using X11 libraries (instead of MSW by default).
Then I type, "make", "make install".
Here was a small compilation error, I fixed it, and wxWidgets libraries were installed successfully into my Cygwin env.

Second step is to build CB.
I downloaded "codeblocks-12.11release8629" sources.
./configure steps passed fine.

Then I type "make" and give the following error  (not just immediately after start, error becomes after some long time of compilation):

Could advise how to fix this compilation error?

C::B requires wxGTK and it cannot work with wxX11, sorry.
Also I'm sure you're the first trying to build C::B inside cygwin and also I'm not sure why you want to inflict this pain to yourself:)

PetrPetrov:
Thank you for answer.

I will try to build wxWidgets version which is based on GTK library.

Not the first, I have tried it twice. But, its been about two years since last try.

stahta01: Why? What is the benefit of running a cygwin version of C::B?
